I downloaded the latests Carbonite this morning, installed it, downloaded the 5.1 patch, logged in (enabling out of date addons), and about 60-120 seconds after logging in, I got a notice that there was a new version of Carbonite.

just wondering its been awhile since i posted anywhere i cant live with out this addon, when will it be up to use again ... also any chance you can get it to where its showing colors again for genreal area where the mobs you need to farm for quests

Carbonite addon check the version using the global channel it makes in game (privacy & Com in options). If there is a version on a player that is newer than the one you have then is flags you for an update.

I guess someone had the file that was pulled running when you were on...

CARBONITE version 5.059 of CARBONITE is available
